It's simple for Discoverer Guru's...

Hi,
How to pass two parameters (start date and end date) in a function from the parameter form. I am calling a procedure (p_dis_volume_Rpt) from the function (F_DIS_VOLUME_RPT). I have registered the fun in admin and included as am item in a folder.
FUNCTION F_DIS_VOLUME_RPT (ivc_startDate IN VARCHAR2,
ivc_endDate IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN number IS
ln_error NUMBER; -- Error code returned from stored procedure
BEGIN
p_dis_volume_Rpt (ivc_startDate, ivc_endDate, ln_error);
RETURN ln_error;
END;
Thanks...

The video I am watching this guy is just dragging every line to make curves. And every anchor point is a corner. He is not switching back and forth between the pen and the anchor points tool, and he is not using the convert points tool. He draws a curved line and starts another straight line only to curve it with a click and a drag. It is super efficient, and I could save a world of time if I could figure out what he is doing.

Timeouts for Discoverer Viewer and SSO

We've enabled SSO for Discoverer Viewer 9.0.4. We set the Viewer timeout in the web.xml file to 120 minutes. We set the SSO Global user Inactivity Timeout to 240 minutes. Viewer sessions don't timeout at 120 minutes. Does the GUIT timeout override the Viewer timeout?
--- Steve

Hi
As far as I know, the Viewer sessions don't time out using the Discoverer settings. These only affect Discoverer Plus. The SSO timeouts will apply though. Out of interest can you tell in which folder was the web.xml you modified?
By the way, 240 sounds an awful long time to allow an SSO connection to stay active.

Setup for Discoverer to have multiple sessions opening in different browser

What is the setup for Discoverer or Windows 6 browser to have multiple discoverer sessions opening in different browser windows at the same time in Discoverer 10g Plus?
We have implemented Discoverer 10g Plus just to be used as an extract tool. We have some workbooks retrieving 200,000 or more rows from an Oracle database. It is taking 30 to 45 minutes to download. Some users are able to open multiple sessions in different browsers to download more then one worksheet at the time, but we have other users who get an error message that they can only open one session at the time. What is the setup to allow users to open more than one Discoverer session?

Additional research in Metalink found the following:

Abstract: ALLOW ABILITY TO LAUNCH TWO DISCOPLUS SESSIONS FROM SAME BROWSER CONNECTION PAGE
*** 07/17/08 07:31 am REQUEST TEXT ***
Please refer to bug 6656139. Need to get Discoverer Plus certified to
support launching two plus sessions from same browser connections page when
using SUN JRE 1.5/1.6 or higher.
As per bug 6656139 it appears to be JVM 1.5.x limitation, because same
actions work fine when using SUN JRE 1.4.2_xx.
*** 07/17/08 07:31 am BUSINESS NEED ***
Impossible to run reports against two different databases simultaniously
using same Discoverer instace, or just several reports at the same time,
which would save much time instead of running reports one by one.

Creation of LDAP User for Discoverer Web Services

Hi all,
this isn't a Discoverer issue per se, but I couldn't find where to post this in other forums.
After installing the web services patch for Discoverer (5648158), I need to create a bipublisher user
in OIDDAS right? However our installation seems a bit ***** up. So I need to do it from the command line.
I found some instructions in: here
and created the following bipublisher.ldif file:
cn=bipublisher,cn=users,dc=company,dc=com
objectclass=top
objectclass=person
objectclass=inetorgperson
objectclass=organizationalperson
objectclass=orcluser
objectclass=orcluserv2
objectclass=orclUserProvStatus
givenname=Web
userpassword=oracle123
displayname=bipublisher
orcldefaultprofilegroup=cn=sr_users ,cn=groups,dc=company,dc=com
preferredlanguage=en-US
sn=Services
orcltimezone=Europe/Athens
mail=[email protected]
uid=bipublisher
orclactivestartdate=20080612000000z
cn=bipublisher
orclisenabled=ENABLEDthen inserted the entry with:
ldapadd -h my.host.com -D"cn=orcladmin" -w oracle123 -v -f bipublisher.ldif
However when I try to login in the web services from Discoverer, I still get invalid credentials
Any clues? Thanks
PS I'm talking about the login web service method, not the basic web authentication. I am past that.

Nevermind, it seems the server was just a bit slow to take the new account under consideration.

Required Oracle FND tables for Discoverer Install (Oracle App user)

Hi does anyone know of set documentation or, via SQL Trace, which existing tables Discoverer looks for when setting up an EUL? For instance, our install requires you select the Oracle Apps User Schema and put in the password for that schema where your FND tables reside.
Assuming some are missing in our current setup, what would be required in order for Discoverer to work in conjunction with the Oracle applications roles and responsibilities, etc.
I found this list in Discoverer documentation and confirmed I know have that setup correctly with proper grants, etc.. The EUL is created but does return an error of "Table or View does not Exist" which can be passed over and you can proceed into the EUL - but there is an error upon logging into EUL.
grant select on FND_USER to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_APPLICATION to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_USER_RESPONSIBILITY to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_ORACLE_USERID to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_DATA_GROUP_UNITS to &EULOWNER
This is Discoverer 10g and Oracle 10g database.
Thanks,
Mike

Rod,
I have confirmed that the Discoverer Administrator Responsibility has Administration, Desktop & Plus privelages.
Furthermore, the account I am trying to login as - DSCADMIN has those permissions and is assigned that responsibility as well.
It should be noted that when logging into the EUL as the DSCADMIN account, it prompts me to create a new EUL as one does not exist....however under the EUL ADMIN account (where the EUL was created), it recognizes the EUL since it is the owner.
Am I missing something further - I've been through the documentation several times and can't figure this out - I have continually made progress but then hit a speed bump each time.
It should also be noted that DSCADMIN is a database user schema account and also an Apps user as well - but this is how it was setup in our old enviornment so I wouldn't think this would make a difference.

Install Repository Creation Utility [RCU] for Discoverer 11g

Friends !
Please help me in answering below quesitons.
1. We are implementing Discoverer 11g on Sun Solaris 64 SParc systems
2. For this i did download software using "edelivery" - Oracle Fusion MiddleWare 11g.
3. I did installed Weblogic server
4. But there is no "Repository Creation Utility " for solaris env. Is it mandatory to install Repository Creation Utility for discoverer 11g installation
our main goal is to install discoverer 11g and integrate with e-business environment 12.1.3
Please advise on this
Regards
VSH

Please see MOS note 858748.1.
Section "5. RCU only on Linux x86 and Windows 32 bit"
This states:
"Since the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) is only available on Linux and Windows, how can I create schemas in other supported Oracle Database platforms?
Answer:
RCU is only available for Windows 32 bit and Linux x86. Run RCU on these supported platforms to remotely access a certified Oracle Database Server (see Certification Guide) by following the RCU User's Guide"
There are then links to useful information so definitely read that note.

Directory Structure for Discoverer

Hi,
I have couple of queries...
1. What is the directory structure for discoverer on Unix in Application Server?
2. Is there any extention for the woekbook saved in the database like .dis?
I am working on discoverer 10g with Oracle Apps.
Thanks...

1. On a Solaris machine where I have Discoverer 10g (9.0.4.3) installed the directory structure for the Oracle home looks like this:
$ cd h9043
$ pwd
$ /home2/h9043
$ ls

Security issues for Discoverer 10g apps 12i

gurus,
I have couple of things to get it done at client.
We are on Oracle Apps rel 12i with dicoverer 10g.
Did anyone setup MOAC to be enabled and operational in business areas?
Setting up secure responsibilities in discoverer for MOAC?
Any setup needs to be done for custom report security in discoverer ?
thx

Hi,
I did setup new MOAC security profiles and assigned multiple organizations to that profile for testing purpose.
After this, I did run concurrent program "Security List Maintennce" etc...
Tested Upding profile at user level or responsibility level.
On APPS side fine.
I need the some basic steps on setup of security issues for discoverer side.
1) Business areas (any security steps need to be followed in order to access data for single or multi-org)
2) Custom Reports ( any security setup or any moac security profile setting against responsibilty for accessing single or multi-org data)
Since we dont have default operating unit parameter as specified in the concurrent program, how do you restrict data?
3) Reconciling security approach r12 with discoverer (any steps need to be followed here after r12 configuration with security issues)
4) Custom Views ( any steps to be followed for single or multi-org data as security aspect)
Looking for info on these setups.
Thx

Can any one convert my SQL for Discoverer?

This is a SQL you can run on the server but I was wondering if someone could convert the SQL for Discoverer?
SQL:

Hi,
You can create a custom folder on using the administrator using the code,
The only change is that you need the take off the conditions over the parameters and create those in the worksheet and not in the SQL.
so you need to create the custom folder using:
SELECT Po.Profile_Option_Name "NAME"
*,Po.User_Profile_Option_Name*
*,Decode(To_Char(Pov.Level_Id)*
*,'10001'*
*,'SITE'*
*,'10002'*

*,'RESP'*
*,'10005'*
*,'SERVER'*
*,'10006'*
*,'ORG'*
*,'10004'*
*,'USER'*
*,'???') "LEV"*
*,Decode(To_Char(Pov.Level_Id)*
*,'10001'*
*,'10002'*
*,App.Application_Short_Name*
*,'10003'*
*,Rsp.Responsibility_Key*
*,'10005'*
*,Svr.Node_Name*
*,'10006'*
*,Org.NAME*
*,'10004'*
*,Usr.User_Name*
*,'???') "CONTEXT"*
*,Pov.Profile_Option_Value "VALUE"*
FROM Fnd_Profile_Options_Vl Po
*,Fnd_Profile_Option_Values Pov*
*,Fnd_User Usr*

WHERE Pov.Application_Id = Po.Application_Id AND
Pov.Profile_Option_Id = Po.Profile_Option_Id AND

AWM error when enabling for discoverer.

Hi,
I am experiencing some difficulties enabling my analytic workspace for discoverer. I have a created a workspace based on a cube with 1 fact and 2 dimensions. I used Oracle Enterprise Manager 9.2.0.1.0 to create my meta data and AWM 9.2.0.4.1D to create the workspace. When I enable for discoverer plus in AWM it takes me through the wizard and at the end when I click on finish, I get an absolutely non descriptive error...it is: "dataprovider error initializing the AW". I go to the awmrun.log file to see what happened, and it is also confusing. There is a SQLException underneath, but it doesn't say what the overflow was on:

i have made a little more progress with this.
i am not having any problems with users that are created via exchange using New-Mailbox
it is only user accounts that have been enabled for exchange that are causing problems via Enable-Mailbox.
Both user accounts are in the Same OU, have same UM Dial Plan.
i have run a compare of security permissions using dcacls and there is a difference. mainly on an attribute called Group.
i have checked the security permissions and group membership and can't see it listed anywhere. please see output below:
compare-object $broken $working
InputObject SideIndicator
Group: XX\Domain Computers =>
Inherited to inetOrgPerson =>
Inherited to computer =>
Inherited to inetOrgPerson =>
Inherited to group =>
Inherited to contact =>
Inherited to inetOrgPerson =>
Group: XX\Domain Admins <=
any idea how when enabling a mailbox exchange can ensure it has the correct permissions on it?

Command line for DISCOVERER 3.1.37

I try to found the instructions about the command line for DISCOVERER 3.1.37 (how to activate with the username/password with the address of a workgroup on a file server)
Where can i find informations about Command line mode and examples ?

Hi,
I think you need to upgrade Disco to 4.1.48, I don't think 4.1.37 works properly with Applcations 11.5.8.

Directory selection for Discoverer applet on HTTP Server

Hi
I installed Discoverer 3i on NT SP4
My http server is OAS 4.0.8.1
I tried single machine install and while providing the directory for Discoverer applet on HTTP Server i gave a directory which is not root directory for OAS
How do i set virtual path so that discoverer may be configured in my http server (OAS)
What are the steps?
Thanks
null

Go to the Directories section in OAS. You will already have virtual directories set for OAS. Use one of these as an example.

Reasons for Introducing database functions for Discoverer Reporting Needs

Hi All,
I would like to know the criteria other organizations have used in creating custom database functions specifically for Discoverer reporting needs. It seems good and appropriate to identify these reasons in order that they have a sufficiently good reason (e.g. in presenting this to a change management board).
Here is a quick swipe:
-query explain plan improvements
-take away the complexity of having the end user deal with complex calculations
-consistency of a value (e.g. a complex amortization calculation)
-an attribute is used from a dependent table with a minimum cardinality of zero
Can anyone list other good reasons in terms of Discoverer reporting?
Thanks,
Patrick
Edited by: Patrick Bacon on Jul 15, 2009 10:30 AM

Hi Patrick
In addition to the reasons you have given the reasons for having functions anyway apply just as equally to Discoverer as they do to other applications.
Typically the main reasons why I would use a function are:
a) due to the complexity of the code, or
b) to evaluate something which an end user either could not do or does not have access to.
For example if a user needs to have aggregations from multiple tables side by side in a report, typically from tables which have no joins between them, I write functions to go get the individual results.
One specific function that I use a lot is one that calculates the number of working days between any given two days. Some of my HR customers use such a function to calculate the number of sick days for an employee when obviously only working days should count. Doing this in a normal Discoverer calculation would be very hard. Retail customers might use this for calculating the number of days it took to ship and item.
There are other reasons why I use functions but these are the typical ones.
Best wishes
Michael
